What if you try to type:
Code:
sudo apt-get install python2.7
What happens if you just type 'python' on the command line?


If for some reason, it's not present, you can download the package from:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/python/python

and install it using dpkg (provided you've got all the dependencies)

My Debian-based distro, raspbian, has a package named "python". Try clearing the cache with apt-cache clean. Also, what is in your /etc/apt/sources.list file?

Glad it worked. Yes, it's something different:
https://storm.canonical.com/

I believe Storm is open source but I have never worked with it.
